Our 2022 Featured Artist - Miss Caiana May Silvelet
We would like to introduce the CopperDog 2022 Featured Artist, Caiana Silvelet! Caiana is a 9th grader at Calumet High School. Her work will be featured on the Official 2022 CopperDog 150 race poster. In addition to the poster all race officials will be wearing her art on our badges. Congratulations, Caiana!
Fans will be able to buy a copy of the souvenir poster, both with this year’s CopperDog 2022 designation and also as a separate poster and a t-shirt as part of our official CopperDog merchandise, proceeds from which support the operation of the CopperDog.
The Invited Artist program was started two years ago. Our first Invited Artist was famed local artist Chris Schmidt of Studio 13, We hope to continue this program going forward to feature our local artists, especially our talented young folks in the area school systems.
